Wake up and face the reality, Sweden

Swedish television today showed a programme which concerned the forthcoming Swedish-led Nordic Battlegroup, and which criticized the training and preparatory work of the Swedish Defence, as well as the psychological suitability of the soldiers who have signed up for the task.
The programme asserted that the Swedish soldiers, if sent to an crisis area, would face grave danger and risk their lifes. Well, naturally, that is what a soldier faces when signing on. What do people actually expect from a dangerous mission in, lets say, the Congo?

If peace, or at least a ceasefire, cannot be achieved through diplomacy alone, peace enforcement is necessary to curtail the violence and to keep the warring at bay. Constituting an important part of the efforts to create peace, peace enforcement remains crucial in order to check violence, and even prevent possible genocide (as was the case in the DRC in 2003, when the EU intervened). Shall we let the other EU Member States carry the burden instead, is that solidarity? We have decided to join forces with the Union in its amibition to contribute to peacebuilding wherever needed, and therefore we must understand and accept that sending troops to foreign countries torn apart by war involves risks and dangers.
